https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/check-sudo-rights/m-p/2515224#M22716 Hello All!<BR /><BR />I would like to check via a script if the user running the script has rights to sudo (at all). I setup a script to do this originally using a version that could take the password from stdin. However the version I have on the system I am not using does not have this option. sudo version 1.6.2b1<BR /><BR />Before I could just `echo "" | sudo -l -S` and check the exit code/status. If it was 0 they the user has rights to some sudo'ing, otherwise they did not. <BR /><BR />There is not a precompiled binary of the newest version that has the -S option for HP/UX 11.00 that I know of. <BR /><BR />This there any why to get the same thing using sudo version 1.6.2b1?<BR /><BR />Without the -S option sudo always prompts for the password for users who do not have any sudo rights. I want it to just fail and allow me to check via the exit status.<BR /><BR />- Justin<BR /> Mon, 09 Apr 2001 17:11:02 GMT Justin Willoughby 2001-04-09T17:11:02Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/check-sudo-rights/m-p/2515224#M22716 Hello All!<BR /><BR />I would like to check via a script if the user running the script has rights to sudo (at all).
